Frequently Asked Questions
What type of blinds are best for privacy?
If privacy is your top priority, roller blinds and vertical blinds are both solid options. Blockout roller blinds are ideal for bedrooms or street-facing windows because they completely cut out outside visibility—even at night. Vertical blinds offer great control, allowing you to angle slats to let light in while blocking the view in.
If you want privacy without losing all natural light, you might consider day-night roller blinds, which combine sheer and blockout layers in one system.
How do I clean and maintain blinds?
Maintenance depends on the type of blinds you have. For roller blinds, a soft damp cloth will do the trick. Venetian and vertical blinds can collect dust, so regular dusting with a microfiber cloth or vacuum attachment helps.
If you live near the coast, it's important to check for salt buildup—especially on metal components.
Avoid harsh chemicals, and if you’re unsure, ask what’s best for the material you’ve chosen. Most modern blinds are made with low-maintenance fabrics and finishes that are easy to care for.
Are blinds suitable for large or sliding windows?
Yes—roller blinds and vertical blinds are especially popular for large windows or sliding glass doors. Roller blinds offer a clean, streamlined look and can be motorised for convenience.
Vertical blinds give flexible coverage and glide easily along the track, making them great for doorways or high-traffic areas.
Depending on your setup, you might also consider pairing blinds with curtains or pelmets for better insulation and light control.
Can blinds help with insulation or energy efficiency?
Definitely. Blockout roller blinds and cellular blinds in particular can improve insulation by keeping heat out in summer and trapping warmth in winter.
Properly fitted blinds reduce reliance on air conditioning and heating, which can lead to noticeable savings on energy bills over time.
The material, thickness and fit all play a role—so custom sizing is key if you want those energy-saving benefits to really count.
